13. Joint Pain
Joint pain may be caused by any number of health issues. Arthritis is a condition that can cause a person to experience pain in their joints. There are two types of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis. Both types of arthritis are caused by the tissues and joints being inflamed. This inflammation is what causes the symptoms associated with arthritis.
Supplements containing omega-three can decrease the activity of the disease and may reduce the need for the use of anti-inflammatory drugs. Since hemp seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids, adding them to your diet can help in the treatment of inflammation. Diets that have higher amounts of GLA can help to alter the production of leukotrienes and prostaglandins, which may influence acute responses and chronic inflammation. One study found that using hemp seed oil can kill off some of the cells that are associated with arthritis.
